IHF Trophy Africa Men Continental Phase: Nigeria's match against Zambia postponed

Posted : 03 November 2024

The match between Nigeria and Zambia, which was supposed to be played today at the IHF Trophy Africa Men Continental Phase in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, has been postponed to Sunday.


The National Under-18 Men's Handball team, led by Coach Emeka Nnamani, was scheduled to leave for Addis Ababa on Friday via Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos. However, due to scheduling issues, they could not depart and had to leave on Saturday morning with Ethiopian Airways.

They will play against Zambia on Sunday at 1 PM Nigeria time at the Ethiopia Sports Center in Addis Ababa, and will then host Ethiopia the following day (Monday) at the same venue.


Samuel Ocheho, President of the Handball Federation of Nigeria (HFN), has praised the International Handball Federation (IHF) for rescheduling the match following the unfortunate flight issues.


Nigeria's Under-18 Handball team is the defending champion of the continental phase, having won in Congo Brazzaville two years ago, after which they finished third globally in the Intercontinental phase in Kosovo.


Coach Emeka Nnamani's side will represent the Africa Zone B region after defeating Ghana 33-25 to emerge as the champion of the IHF Trophy Men Africa Zone 3 Phase in Accra, Ghana, earlier this year.
